About 3 weeks ago I had an extremely bad case of foodpoisoning, with a LOT of vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration over the course of two days.

I'm feeling full, really full, like I just ate like 5 hot dogs or something. I have been eating lightly so food isn't the cause. Is this bloating?? Again, I feel silly even asking this but I have honestly never experienced this.
I also feel just kinda blah. I can't really explain it. I'm not nauseated or crampy, just feel like ick. I get up out of bed to walk around for a few minutes and I start to feel weak. Not in a major way, just in a I'd rather be in bed way.
Does that make sense??

due to a bout with what I thought was foodpoisoning and on occasion having indigestion, acid reflux and nausea once in while I decided to have lab work done...tested positive for H Pylori and my liver enzymes were elevated (350) I don't drink, don't take any medicines on a routine basis...for about a week I took Ibuprofen, rolaids and even dramamine. My vitamin d level was low (23). The Nurse Practitioner who ordered the lab work prescribed meds for H Pylori, which I am still taking....

Take an OTC lactobacillus preparation with meals. Drink plenty of fluids (lemonade, soups, herbal tea, water). Eat light, do not stay hungry but eat simple things like toast, porridge, cereals, crackers etc. Take ORS. Take over the counter antacid and antiemetic (this SOS for vomiting). Keep fever down by sponging and anti fever medication. Watch out for a day or two with this treatment.
If this does not help, please consult a doctor immediately, maybe go to ER if that’s the fastest way.

I could not believe it!! Unfortunately, I got foodpoisoning before I could get through the rechallenge part, but once I started eating normally, the symptoms returned. Now I avoid food additives and certain other triggers, because I know they make me feel miserable.
The other causative factor was a chronic simus infection that I did not notice I had, or just got used to having.

If the chili is what set you off, it may have been foodpoisoning of some sorts. When you have a screwed up gut, it can take weeks, even months to balance things back out after a bout with food poisoning.
I'd suggest taking a probiotic, if you dont already. Stay away from foods like chili, tomatoes (sauce included), tea, coffee, gluten, dairy. All of these are stomach irritants. Avoid them, take the probiotics, and see if it helps at all.

the last time I was in the hospital my blood work said low potassium, low white blood cell count and positive for a intestinal parasite. took the wormer but I haven't gotten any better. after getting out from ICU and I was in there for 3 days.

It is thought that the bacteria is spread through contaminated food or water. People may pick up the bacterium from food that has not been washed well or cooked properly or from drinking water that has come from an unclean source.
Research studies suggest that having contact with the stool or vomit of an infected person can spread H. pylori infection. And H. pylori has been found in the saliva of some infected people, which means infection could be spread through direct contact with saliva.

But a few days ago, I did get some kind of infection in my system, I think due to minor foodpoisoning, which caused me to have loose, liquid stools which involved quite a bit of mucus for two days. Is it possible the passing of all that mucus somehow left the area irritated or what? I checked the area in the mirror (what other way?) and saw nothing out of the ordinary. Just red around the area because of the irritation to the sensitive skin. I work, and I notice I do sweat down there some.

I was given a Demerol/Phenergan drip and about 10 hours after I was released I had that same gnawing feeling in my legs, arms, and back. This time it felt like an unwelcoming tickle but deep inside my bones. I couldn't sleep for a few hrs but still never thought it was due to any withdrawal. The same year, 2005, I had a series of dental procedures and was on Vicaprofen (a combo of 7.

He perscribed Levaquin for a week and I felt fine after that. I ended up traveling to Ecuador and became ill with some sort of foodpoisoning during the last 2 or 3 days of my antibiotics cycle.

I was taking Ibuprofenfor my joint pains and my leg swell up and went red. Doc said that Ibuprofen can cause oedema (fluid retention).

Various things have brought on these episodes (stress, foodpoisoning, alcohol), and I have gone to the E.R. several times and am always told they cannot find anything in my blood, urine and/or other tests they ran.

He quit taking them at that time, felt like crap for 3-4 days, and moved on. I'm either gonna have to come clean or come up with a case of foodpoisoning or something.

I know I can get through this right now, its the pain! The Pain!! I'll let everyone know how its going. Good luck to all of you!

Initially we contributed it to menstrual pains (it seemed likely) but around that time i had also had a nasty case of foodpoisoning from bad chinese food.
the pain at this time was just a strong achey feeling that made me have to lie down after meals. it especially hurt after dinner time (this is also when i have my largest meal of the day). After a while though it became a painful stabbing pain in my abdomen, which occurred right before lunch.

I haven't been diagnosed with Reiter's, but I just read about it today and I think that's what I've been having.
I had foodpoisoning back around 1995. Shortly thereafter, I had a brief bout of blurred vision, intermittant bilateral knee pain, my allergies became much worse, and I experienced chronic loose stools. For years, I thought I had a parasitic infection, but testing was always negative. I even took anti-helminth medications without relief.
